MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable William H. Webster
General Richard G. Stilwell
Chairman, Interagency Group/Countermeasures
FROM: William J. Casey
Chairman, Senior Interagency Group-Intelligence
SUBJECT: NSSD-2/82 Organizational Study
1. National Security Study Directive (NSSD-2/82) of,16 February 1982
directed a review of the legal, guideline, structural, and organizational
impediments to achieving required capabilities for detecting, analyzing, and
countering the foreign intelligence threat.
2. The organizational study tasking called for in NSSD-2/82 was deferred
in order that the deficiencies in our capabilities to meet the foreign
intelligence threat and the resources needed to overcome those- deficiencies
could be addressed. The "Capabilities Against the Hostile Intelligence
Threat, 1983-1988" study issued in July 1982 acknowledged that a review of
organizational and managerial considerations would be undertaken at a later
date. n
3. I now desire that the study be undertaken and that it should be
approached by the two IGs separately--the IG/CI responsible for the
counterintelligence organizational study and the IG/CM responsible for a
review of countermeasures organization.
4. The Chairman, IG/CI and Chairman, IG/CM, supported by appropriate
representatives drawn from their membership and invitees, are charged with
conducting this review and preparing studies for submission to the SIG-I
which,.after consideration, will be forwarded to the NSC and the President. I
desire that the two studies proceed concurrently on a coordinated schedule
which will enable the SIG-I to review the completed studies together. ^
5. The IG Secretariat is to provide staff assistance to the IG/CI and
IG/CM Chairmen.
NSC review completed.
